When I'm cleaning for my clients

I see Martha's little things in the kitchen window & Dan's tools and the gas grill, the patio table & chairs, Dan's office full of papers and pens, etc, and now neither of them can do anything at all.
Things have rusted and broken down and it's just so sad.

Yeah. I remember going into my grandfather's woodshop after he died and finding cobwebs.

And cigarette butts, used pencils, sawdust, and fingernail clippings.

He made a mirror on a stand for me long ago. I still have it and use it. So he lives on! And every time I look at myself I see a bit of him! Literally.
